5th SRTS, 9th SRW, US Air Force, USA 1980
As the TR-1A from Italeri was so impressive in its size, I bought and built the same kit, which comes with the parts and decals to enable the two-seater TR-1B to be built. No aftermarket was used, and like the TR-1A I was quite sloppy in building this kit (witness the wonky anti-glare panel, canopy framing and yucky decals). Still, at least I’ve managed to keep the periscope on this one! Finish is Halfords Appliance White over their white primer. Not a lot else to say. Nice kit (raised panel lines), simple build, very big wingspan.
Year bought: 1995 (Antics, Guildford)
Year built: 1995 (Send Marsh, Surrey, UK)
Back to home.

Very nice and clean build, looks great in white. I even wondered about a fictitious aluminium. Looking at it as a box filler and does the job. Thanks for the pics

Thanks Paul! This is a pretty old build and has long been consigned to the bin. It was an impressive size though, and I would love to make an aluminium U-2 one day (I think some of the early ones flew in natural metal finish).
Cheers
Jon
